Testimonials from Clients:
I wavered for over six months - and lost countless thousands - because some friends told me there was no way to make any real money online.
It's simply not true!
I quit my job in September - just a few months after starting my site - and I've never looked back. Online marketing has been one of the best decisions I've ever made and your site was one of the places that inspired me most.

I have been a loyal subscriber to your ezines Harmony, and you are one of the very few that I trust and believe who exudes credibility and honesty. That's why I have stuck with you for about 3 years now.
I too am about to start my own Internet business soon, but I need a 'guru' to guide me along, and you are one of those whom I rate highly along with Terry Dean, Marlon Sanders, Jim Daniels, Phil Wiley who I truly believe are sincerely out there to help the public, and us newbies, and not just out to make a quick sale.
I aim to take this business full-time and I was hoping if you could be a 'mentor' and recommend me courses to get me going. If its one of your products that could get me goin', that would be great. I am hoping that one day I could do a Joint Venture with you, as I am already familiar with your honest approach to things.
Anything from you, even a simple piece of advice is worth its weight in gold.
Sincerely,
Mikhail Mansour

Harmony, in my heart you are one of the most honest and honorable people I have ever communicated with on line.
It appears to me that "some of your readers" are not very familiar with you as a person, and must have very little reason to write you on a personal level. You have always said what you thought/felt about any given issue/circumstance/organization, and you have always in my opinion been very up front.
It is my greatest hope that you will continue to be the "Harmony" I have trusted for over 2 years now ... after all ... where would us newbies be if we didn't have people of your integrity and experience to help guide us in our efforts on line & off line.
Warmest regards

I have recommended products and ended up with the same kind of treatment (described in a past issue of my ezine). So much so that I no longer endorse products.
Until now.
I'm not sure if my market will respond but I will be happy to place links to your products on my site. Hope all is well with your family.

My Dear Young Lady,
You are the first publisher that I know of who has been so forthright concerning a promotion that had some underlying facts. If everyone selling products on the internet adopted your standards what a great place it would be.
As I have said previously I have always found you to be as honest as the day is long and for that my dear, you can justly take a bow.
As long as I am around NEVER forget that I will gladly give you a testimonial anytime.
With every blessing
Your devoted fan,
Ken Burgess

The "Everyday" Pricing LIE That's Killing YOUR Cash Flow
The all-too-common pricing LIE that's eating away at your cash flow is...
"Creating low-priced products is the BEST or the ONLY way to make the MOST money with your online business."
NO. This is a MYTH!
Not everyone is broke OR struggling to start their business, or pay the rent. Some marketers might say that the majority are ... but how do they *know* this?
Let me see some studies and statistics to back that up.
In contrast, most ad sources in the online business niche that keep detailed demographics on their audience report that the average Internet user is a 33 year old, single, college educated male, with an average income of $59,000 per year.
Not rich ... but far from broke, wouldn't you say?
The reason it SEEMS that most people online are broke is because they're the only ones who publicize it.
The reason your high-priced product isn't selling *isn't* necessarily because of the price. It could be your sales copy, your website design, or the type of prospects you're driving TO your site.
It could be any or all of those things ... and more.
The ONLY way to know, 100%, is to test. Leave your price the same, and change the other aspects of your sales site to try to get that conversion rate up.
Let lowering your price be the very LAST thing you do.
Realize that subscribers or prospects who're trying to get a discount out of you will tell you their entire life's story.
This usually includes how they and their dog are going to get kicked out onto the street by next month if they don't make something happen with the biz.
And sometimes, that's even true.
But ALSO realize that the people who DO have lots of money to spend *are not* going to sit there and broadcast it, like:
"Hey, I make $80,000/yr with my job offline, and I could pay $400.00 for this product today if you'd only please charge me that much!"
Puh-LEEZ.
The ones who do have money and like to -- or don't mind -- spending it JUST BUY.
Quietly, without a fuss, and usually, WITHOUT trying to haggle with you on price.
So Now, I Ask You...
Have you gotten more sales of your product without even a contact?
Or more hassling about your prices, requests for a discount or freebie, or messages from people telling you how much they want your product and will buy it "as soon as they get some money coming in?"
If you really think about it, my guess is, it'll be about 50-to-1, with the straight sales winning out.
Even if your prospects really ARE struggling to get their businesses making a profit, a large part of that group is *still* willing to PAY *YOU* -- someone who's already been there, done that, and knows the way out -- to help them through that rut.
The Lesson In All This?
Listen to your BANK ACCOUNT -- *NOT* your "prospects."
Cha-ching.
